Accessor

Penny pinching at it's finest...SS priority is all about saving money vs leaving a very positive experience on the final leg of your trip. A $60/night property doesn't align with SS image of luxury travel,. Another reason to never book door2door with SS!!

Go figure, it's cheaper to sail on SS vs Celebrity. Maybe that explains things....

We sailed on Celebrity Apex Oct 21 in Greece followed by Silversea Spirit May/June 2022. I am giving up on SS for now as our Celebrity Apex experience was far superior overall to our 27 days onboard the Spirit....Yes, SS has better service. Food? Celebrity superior. Bars? Try to order an IPA on SS (they have 6 beers to choose from). Entertainment? No comparison. I strongly feel RCL has raised the game on the Apex class ships to a very high level and standard. Meanwhile, they are finding as many ways as possible to cut corners (save money) at SS...just my opinion, and one from recent experiences not pre-covid.

We have done one cruise on Virgin and another one coming up in a few days, plus over 60 on just about every cruise line. some oddities that I would change 1. Food hall layout: the pizza place, ice cream shop, and poke bowl joint should be found in the dining hall concept for simplicity. I dislike the disconnect, as these are fast casual places that are disjointed from the rest of the concept 2. Signage in general could be improved. Ship is very choppy, and mediocre signage doesn't help things. Take RCL's ship on stick outside the halls of the elevators. 3. Fix the outdoor furniture. Make whoever designed this stuff sit in it for an hour. Then ask them why it's so uncomfortable. Great for the Insta, but some of it is useless beyond this... 4. Ship doesn't have a heart, a great place to congregate to see and be seen. This one isn't an easy fix. But I miss having a larger open venue that has some center vibe to it like Champagne bar on Celebrity Edge class. 5. No connection to sea from inside of ship with exception of the wake at the aft of the ship. 6. Shows. Look up The Mayfair after dark at Bellagio...or Zumanity. Sexy, flirty, and sinful. After all, it's an adult only ship and needs an adult only show. Take dual reality and add some sinfulness to it! 7. Make a section for topless sunbathing that has some privacy. Easy fix. tons of wasted deck space.

How hard is it for RCL to reuse Celebrity's cruise air system and allow SS pax to book their own flights? I prefer straight cruise only fares *(port to port as they like to call it) and allowing guest to book at RCL's wholesale flight pricing via an online booking engine. Fixes most of the problems, reduces massive amounts of labor costs and guest satisfaction goes up tremendously. PLEASE GIVE US ONLINE BOOKING ENGINE LIKE CELEBRITY FOR FLIGHTS!!! https://www.celebritycruises.com/ca/find-your-reservation/flights-by-celebrity
